Do not cry my heart
Try to bear the pain
Tears won’t change the fates
Time will be lost in vain
Nothing is impossible
Only you must believe that
Mind can move mountains
Just keep intact your faith
Howsoever long be the night
Day will not be far away
Clouds may be dark and dense
Cannot keep the sun at bay
Always keep your hope alive
Never succumb to looming fears
You can do everything in the world
Face despair and wipe your tears
If your mate does not respond
To your call to accompany you
Leave him behind, walk alone
Without looking at backward view
